Double eyelid surgery, also known as double eyelid surgery, is one of the most common operations in plastic surgery. The success rate is very high, but there are still many traces left by poor recovery. For example, it looks unnatural, the double eyelids are too wide and too narrow, the incision scar is obvious, and the eyelids are sunken, which brings great pain and inconvenience to the beauty seekers.
Generally speaking, in order to avoid unsatisfactory surgical results, it is very important to choose experienced doctors and hospitals with good reputation before operation. In view of three kinds of double eyelid operation methods (namely, double eyelid incision, double eyelid embedding and Korean three-point double eyelid operation), this paper mainly analyzes the recovery stage of double eyelid operation and various nursing problems.
1, expansion stage
65438+ 0-3 days after operation is the most serious stage, with slight pain, obvious swelling, tight eyelids, excessive secretion and bleeding symptoms on the first day after operation, which are normal phenomena.
At this time, you can use ice to compress your eyes, which can shrink blood vessels, prevent bleeding and prevent swelling. Because of the oozing reaction on the first day after operation, there will be blood scabs on the wounds of double eyelids. Don't be nervous about it. You need to go to the hospital to change your dressing. The nurse will wash her eyes with normal saline, and then gently wipe off the scab with complex iodine.
2. Fast fading stage
4-9 days after operation is the stage of rapid swelling reduction, and the changes are obvious every day. The redness and bruises around the wound will gradually turn from light to yellow. Besides, I often feel itchy, which is a sign that the wound is healing. Don't touch your eyes at this time, because it is easy to rub the wound open. If you are really uncomfortable, you can gently wipe your eyes with a cotton swab dipped in normal saline. There is no need for ice at this time. Hot compress is recommended. Because at this time, hot compress will accelerate the blood supply, shorten the recovery period and recover faster.
3. Sustained phase
10- 30 days after operation is the stage of continuous swelling. Generally, after ten days, the effect of double eyelids has begun to appear, but because there is still swelling, double eyelids are generally slightly larger than normal. The shape and symmetry of the eyes will be a little different, so don't worry at this time. Because there may be more fat on both sides during the operation, there will be more bleeding. In addition, there is nothing exactly the same in the world, as long as the gap between the eyes is not too big after the three-month recovery period, it doesn't matter. At this time, you must keep a good mood and continue to apply hot compress.
4, stable stage
3 1- 180 days after operation is the stable stage of basic morphology. The symptoms of postoperative discomfort are basically gone. However, due to the healing and recovery of the subcutaneous tissue of the wound, this period is a period of scar hyperplasia. There will be red, swollen and hard tissue at the double eyelid line, and some people will even have small meat balls. At this time, you must not touch it all the time, because the more stimulation you touch, the greater the scar hyperplasia. Therefore, before this, scar softening cream can be used when removing stitches to reduce and inhibit the occurrence of scar hyperplasia.
5. Forming stage
The postoperative 180-365 days belongs to the shaping stage/period. At this time, the shape of the double eyelids has completely come out, and there will be no discomfort and symptoms. But if the shape is not particularly good at this time, you must remember to go to the hospital to communicate with the doctor for repair surgery according to the situation and personal requirements. Therefore, after finishing double eyelid surgery, gluttonous people should avoid eating. Say goodbye to spicy, stimulating and seafood for the time being, and then eat it after recovery.
Postoperative nursing is no less important than the doctor's operation process to ensure the shaping of double eyelids, so we must pay attention to it.
In addition, it should be noted that TV and mobile phone should be watched as little as possible within 1 week after operation, and it is best to raise the pillow when resting in bed to avoid eye fatigue or lowering the head, which will aggravate the swelling of the wound. Try to open your eyes during the recovery period, promote the blood circulation of eye muscles and surrounding tissues, reduce and gradually eliminate the swelling of the surgical site, which is more conducive to rapid recovery.
If you really fail or have serious complications, you can also choose to do double eyelid repair surgery, so that dissatisfied double eyelids can be improved and repaired, and the appearance becomes more natural. However, in the industry, double eyelid repair surgery requires high technical level of doctors. I still remind you to choose a qualified and reputable doctor and go to the hospital for follow-up in time.
